You can completely represent a data set by two key values, the measure of central tendency and measure of variation. You need both these measures to portray the true nature of the data. In this post, we will look at what Variation means and what are the different measures of variation. Read on! In the […]
What are the measures of Central Tendency
You can completely represent a data set by two key values. The measure of central tendency and the measure of variation. You need both these measures to portray the true nature of the data. In this post, we will look at what central tendency means and what are the 3 measures of central tendency. We […]
Normal Distribution for Lean Six Sigma
Normal Distribution, also called Gaussian distribution, is arguably the most important distribution from a statistical analysis perspective. As a Lean Six Sigma practitioner, one needs to understand this distribution, its characteristics and applications in the projects. We will look at all the details pertaining to Normal distribution and its application in Lean Six Sigma. Read […]
Continuous Gage R&R – A Step by Step Approach
In this post, we will look at the step by step approach to perform Continuous Gage R&R. It is also referred to as Gage R&R. We will also explore the results of Continuous Gage R&R and how to interpret these results. In my earlier post, we looked at what Measurement System Variation means, how it can creep […]
Attribute Gage R&R – A Step by Step approach
In this post, we will look at the step by step approach to perform Attribute Gage R&R. It is also referred to as Discrete Gage R&R. We will also explore the results of Attribute Gage R&R and how to interpret these results. In my earlier post, we looked at what Measurement System Variation means, how […]
Measurement System Analysis (MSA) overview
In this post, we will talk about Measurement System Analysis, commonly referred to as MSA. We will also look at which Measurement System Analysis you should perform depending on the type of your Lean Six Sigma project data. And we will talk about the important terms in an MSA along-with the pre-work needed before you […]
What is Measurement System Variation?
I will talk about how variation can crop into your data because of a faulty measurement system. And how you can ensure it doesn’t happen before you analyze the data set. Traditionally, Lean is used to remove any and all types of wastes in your processes, and Six Sigma is used to remove variation from […]
